Enterprise Data Architect We’re a rapidly expanding healthcare organization seeking an Enterprise Data Architect to define, govern, and evolve our Snowflake‑based data platform, ensuring scalability, performance, auditability, and regulatory compliance across finance, growth, care, and talent domains. Responsibilities Define and govern enterprise data architecture standards across bronze, silver, and gold layers, ensuring consistent design patterns, separation of concerns, and scalability across domains. Establish and maintain modeling frameworks, including dimensional models, canonical data models, and point‑in‑time snapshot strategies to support analytics, regulatory reporting, and machine learning. Design and formalize data contract standards for upstream and downstream systems (e.g., EMR, payors, CMS, clearinghouses), including schema expectations, change management, and validation rules. Define data freshness, SLA, and performance patterns, balancing latency, cost, and reliability for operational, analytical, and executive reporting workloads. Partner with Data Engineering and Data Governance to embed data quality controls, reconciliation checks, lineage, and auditability directly into ingestion and transformation pipelines. Lead Snowflake performance optimization and scalability design, including warehouse strategy, clustering, partitioning, and cost‑aware architecture patterns. Provide architectural oversight and design review for high‑impact initiatives, ensuring alignment with enterprise standards, long‑term roadmap, and AI/ML readiness. Guide AI‑ready data architecture by ensuring high‑quality features, consistent snapshots, and governed datasets suitable for advanced analytics and LLM‑enabled workflows. Mentor and coach engineering teams on architectural best practices, modeling techniques, and design tradeoffs, raising overall technical maturity. Act as a trusted technical advisor to senior leaders, translating business needs into durable architectural solutions and influencing cross‑functional alignment. Qualifications 8+ years of experience in data architecture, data engineering, or platform architecture roles. Deep hands‑on experience with Snowflake or comparable modern cloud data platforms, including performance tuning and cost optimization.
